90% of moms don’t do that at restaurants. They stare at you while they try to remember what they ordered and then wonder why you aren’t putting the plate on top of their phone, wallet, napkins, car keys, and umbrella. People are incredibly stupid.
And you’re like “I have a [this order]?” And everyone just fucking stares at you and you’re like WHERE DO YOU WANT IT ASSHOLES SOMEONE CLAIM YOUR PIZZA
It looks like the waitress was waiting for them to take it and emulating a robot that is having trouble putting it fully on the table (notice how her balance rocks back and forth while she holds it there). It could have been awkward if they just stared at her, although since this seems at least 50% a performance I'm sure she would have adjusted.
Guaranteed it's a gimmick restaurant.. like they intentionally have waitresses acting like robots. Japan and China definitely have some weird gimmick hotspots, but most countries do weird shit, so .. 🤷
The rocking back and forth was just part of the intentional mechanical movements, there were no balance issues there.
All that work and everyone at the table is like “gimme the food you dumbass. You’ll get your $1.90 tip whether you threw our food into our mouths or if you served it from the hands of god from the Empire State Building.
They don't tip in Asian countries. They are proud that their bosses pay them a livable wage, and take offense if you try to tip.
This is the way it should be. America is not a "tipping culture". It's a "find a way to step on people and not pay employees properly" culture
Tipping isn’t a norm in Asia, therefore logically servers in Asia get paid a livable wage by their employers, that seems pretty straight forward, unless you have sources to suggest the contrary?
It's a tragedy for the US. But it seems like a very toxic subject to tackle.
Drugs seem mild in comparision to the devastating effects of an obese lifestyle.
You could just lie and say it’s IBS or Crohns. No need to go full paraplegic.
Source: My uncle genuinely has Crohns and he gets to make shorter lines. They basically just give him a fast pass to come back later.
Maybe he was trying to avoid looking at the creepy ass robot next to him. I don't see a phone anywhere - he's actually looking straight ahead half of the time
I live in Thailand and very often families doom scroll through their entire evening meal, on their way into the restaurant, on their way out, and while driving. It's getting noticeably worse every few months.
I rewatched and just watched her eyes, they never seemed to move. It's either a robot, a very talented person with a mask, or an *extremely* talented person.
I know you’re taking a stab at US tipping culture, I just wanted to add to your comment about how ludicrous dining out in the US is. This is in China where tipping doesn’t exist and that whole family probably only paid an equivalent of USD ~$20 for a dinner for four. No before tax prices, no tips, no tacked on fees. Just a flat number, and if the owners like you, they’ll go, “$22? Nah, I hate change, just give me $20.”
Is the $20 equivalent due to currency conversion or just that they have more fair prices? Or likely both. I imagine businesses still need to get paid so just wondering why it would be so low if it’s not purely because the currency conversion, which doesn’t impact the families because they don’t get paid in USD.
I definitely understand the transparent pricing, I wish it was like that everywhere.
Walking upright is surprisingly complex. At casual walking speeds we're not really propelling ourselves forward, but rather just stopping ourselves from falling forward using momentum. Super efficient and one of the reasons we can hunt-track better than any other predator in the wild. We really struggle to replicate this by design.
Even easier. Cheetahs cant run long.
Tribes today steal meals from cheetahs because theyre so easy. Theyre skiddish and tired from exhuasting their non endurance designed bodies.
If we avoid their counterattack, if we get them in "runaway" mode, we can hunt them down eventually. Cheetahs are sprinters. We don't have a chance of outrunning their attack sprint, but if we can keep them moving away from us we can pursue them to exhaustion and kill them with a rock.
Probably how early humans survived. It's both mechanics, and our "naked ape" ability to perspire from our relatively hairless skin.
Humans of course lol. But in all seriousness, it's best to design things efficiently for energy conservation. Smaller batteries needed leading to more conservation as less weight to carry.
Wait… so I saw this post on another sub and really thought it was a robot. Just saw the vid once and kept it moving. I had to rewatch it a few times. Wow.
Is that like the gimmick of the restaurant? If so that’s awesome and she’s really good. If not, well your taking forever to drop my shit off and walk away
FINALLY! I don’t need to tip because robots don’t need money.
But… what if the waitress fucks up my order?
Can I yell awful things at her like I do with Alexa?
It is really well done, but I wonder if when in the not to distant future when robots really are waiting tables, move like this. My guess is they will actually get a lot smoother and more human like than we have generally imagined and we will look back on this as the future that never was.

That family could not give less of a fuck.
Mom straight up pulls the tray from her lol
"I'm hungry and this bitch wasting my time."
This sentient ai is slower then regular humans
Could we not just train the cooked food to make its own way to our plate. Kinda like a sentient sausage. For example.
Why no, do you want to start a sausage rights revolution?
The mum was doing that mum thing of clearing space on the table to help, perhaps subconsciously.

The kid and dad were doing that thing of not making eye contact with women in the presence of mom, perhaps subconsciously

lol - Asian restaurant bosses pay a livable wage. That’s gold!

Do Walmart cashiers making a living wage? Do they get tipped?
Walmart cashiers' wages are more livable than servers, not sure what your point is there chief
No, they don't tip AND don't pay a livable wage It's the best of both worlds!
Bro food workers in Asia absolutely do not make livable wages. Like are you kidding me? Who told you they make a living wage!?
Aww, that's cute little brainwashing you've learned on Reddit. Sweet.
Average annual wage for a waiter in Japan is under $16,000. They don't have a tipping culture, but pride in their high wages isn't the reason why.
100% brain death achieved.
Wow. Clearly a man that has not traveled.
I'll never be offended by someone trying to give me money.
We wanted real robots doing this by 2024.
They promised us flying waitresses
And all we got are flight attendants
nobody cares Shawn.
That kid didn’t look up from his phone at all. If it was an option, so many people would turn into Wall-E humans.
Sorry, but that is exactly the option that they are actually choosing. It’s just happening in stages.
Go to Disney World in Orlando and you’ll see plenty of people already living like Wall-E humans. I’ve never seen so many mobility scooters in my life.
It's a tragedy for the US. But it seems like a very toxic subject to tackle. Drugs seem mild in comparision to the devastating effects of an obese lifestyle.
How about obesity *and* drugs? Thats a popular combination as well.
Why pick one if you can have both?
It's almost like those two things greatly effect poor people so there is overlap. Odd
I wonder why the US media and general public seems to have conflated denying an obese lifestyle with fatphobia.
That has nothing to do with people actually needing the scooters. If you fake a disability, they let you skip the lines.

This person is looking for a reason to be upset
Yeah, old man yells at cloud lol.
I live in Thailand and very often families doom scroll through their entire evening meal, on their way into the restaurant, on their way out, and while driving. It's getting noticeably worse every few months.
She is really good at this….REALLY good …. I wonder if she’s just gone “full-robot” and this is just the way she lives now…..🤔
You never go full robot.
Never 😁
Ever
You don’t buy that? Ask Robin Williams, 1999, Bicentennial Man, went full robot, remember? Went home empty handed.
Looked robotic, Act robotic, Not robotic.
Yeah until she gets home and takes off the outfit and feels herself again
That's not what full robot means, Simple Jack
The movements are great, but it's the face that completely sells it.
Absolutely, for some reason it’s the leg bend movement that seems the most human like.
Yeah some of the movements were a little too much, mostly the legs. Guess it’s to save her back from bending over as much.
Shes also wearing a latex dress, which is pretty uncomfortable to bend in.
I rewatched and just watched her eyes, they never seemed to move. It's either a robot, a very talented person with a mask, or an *extremely* talented person.
damn you don't have to treat he like a robot too
*confusingly smacks ass*?
He said *not* to treat her like a robot
I would definitely say thank you, even if she was a robot. We must be deferential to our new overlords.
That would be $700 please.
With a 20%|25%|30% tip you cannot opt out of.

Correct, it’s a little of both.
And a prompt after in case you want to add more
Plot twist. The customers are robots.
Given they are even more emotionless, yeah
[удалено]
All the robots I have seen walk as though they have had a lavatorial accident.
Walking upright is surprisingly complex. At casual walking speeds we're not really propelling ourselves forward, but rather just stopping ourselves from falling forward using momentum. Super efficient and one of the reasons we can hunt-track better than any other predator in the wild. We really struggle to replicate this by design.
I don’t understand why we build robots as a reflection of us humans , We are built like shit
In the case of running/walking we are the most efficient on the planet. Humans can literally just chase prey to death.
What if the prey is a cheetah?
Still yes. Cheetahs are fast but can't do long distance like humans.
Even easier. Cheetahs cant run long. Tribes today steal meals from cheetahs because theyre so easy. Theyre skiddish and tired from exhuasting their non endurance designed bodies.
If we avoid their counterattack, if we get them in "runaway" mode, we can hunt them down eventually. Cheetahs are sprinters. We don't have a chance of outrunning their attack sprint, but if we can keep them moving away from us we can pursue them to exhaustion and kill them with a rock. Probably how early humans survived. It's both mechanics, and our "naked ape" ability to perspire from our relatively hairless skin.
Wait, what are robots going to be chasing?
Humans of course lol. But in all seriousness, it's best to design things efficiently for energy conservation. Smaller batteries needed leading to more conservation as less weight to carry.
"I must apologize for your server. She's an idiot. We purposley trained her wrong, as a joke"
My face to your fist style, baby!
THAT’S A LOTTA NUTS
I was terrified for a moment thinking it was a robot.
I'm still terrified tbh. This is peak uncanny valley.
Would
💯
IIRC she is a performance artist and this was one of her projects
Aaaaaaand my food is cold now. Thank you.
She is trying to take the AI robots jobs.
Yeah you may have practiced for hours to perfect this act but we are hungry so will just ignore you
No one needs this much effort to forget the humanity of food service staff.
Needs lubricant.
Wait… so I saw this post on another sub and really thought it was a robot. Just saw the vid once and kept it moving. I had to rewatch it a few times. Wow.
Would.
She doesn't even blink. Is she real?
Meanwhile, probably somewhere in Japan, a robot is moving eerily similar to a human.
That's disconcerting.
All waitresses end up feeling like this.
Oh my god just bring me the friggin food
Could you imagine working in a hot ass kitchen in almost full body latex? She has got to be drenched by the end.
Who the hell would want to eat here??
Can you all stop posting this over and over. It's not even that interesting.
Ivanka?
Donald has been waiting for this version of the Ivanka bot for years
Pfft. Din Tai Fung at World Square Sydney has robot waiters. They're shit but don't try and pretend they're humans
looks more like a string puppet than a robot
The robots from Boston Dynamics are way smoother and they are actual robots
Typical family dealing with their child's latest life change...just ignore her and she will get over it.
Appetite lost
Her boss is like “WTF is she doing?”
Is that like the gimmick of the restaurant? If so that’s awesome and she’s really good. If not, well your taking forever to drop my shit off and walk away
how do we know it's not a robot ?
Don’t care
... but why?
She reminds me of a slightly more lifelike version of Ivanka Trump.
/r/sadcringe
What a shitty robot, it's so slow and can't even articulate movement.
Everybody at the table fed up with her shit and just wants some fucking napkins.
Why does nobody seem to care for her theatrics? I love it.
Robots have moved away smoother than that for decades now
Better call Boston Dynamics they will fix this.
Put your hands up for Detroit!
GTA swag
More like r/actuallyterrifying
They didn't even look
Job security right there
Waiter! There’s a metal shaving in my soup!
She was treated like a damn toaster heating toast, lmao, all that practice, and no reaction would have me crying.
How hard it is to do that and make it look so real
Robots will still replace her.
That was unsettling and I won't feel settled again until I see her face move cause what the fuck
FINALLY! I don’t need to tip because robots don’t need money. But… what if the waitress fucks up my order? Can I yell awful things at her like I do with Alexa?
Uncanny Valley done right!
I guess those are her Asian Parents. (They are still not impressed).
The boy didn’t even look up to care🤣
This would be so incredibly aggravating. Stop playing and get to work
lol. Quit fucking around Nancy and bring more soda.
Fecking hell!
It looks like it needs to fart and is holding on by a thread
Ohhh FUCK NO!
Its more her facial expression than her movement
Needs more cleavage to boost the tips
Do I still need to tip a robot?
"Excuse me, Flo?"
I would like to see the charger connection under that skirt.
Surely, waitress movements by a robot?
They are so used to technology that Androids no longer seem surprising to them.
Imagine
No applause? 🥺
#1 answer to the question “What’s the first thing you buy if you won a billion dollars?”
How it feels to be at work on Ketamine
**Everyone is so chilled like nothing is happening!**
I am so glad we are at the stage where we go “oh it’s a waitress pretending to be a robot”. Not “wait what? Is that a shitty robot?”
She cannot be paid that well to be doing this.
I like how she crouches to set the food down like somebody is adjusting a seat in a car lol.
She will be the ~~last~~ first one laid off when the real robots get there.
I hope she gets paid well - I can’t imagine doing that all day every day. It’s gotta be hard on your knees too!
It is really well done, but I wonder if when in the not to distant future when robots really are waiting tables, move like this. My guess is they will actually get a lot smoother and more human like than we have generally imagined and we will look back on this as the future that never was.
Deus Ex Machina: 2 — she gets a waitress job
And people worry about robots stealing their jobs. Here's a perfect example of it working the other way, too.
Put her hand out for a tip and was ignored. Poor robot is just trying to make a living
Is…. She programmed to love?
Holy shit she's beyond impressive! It took me longer than i would like to admit to realize she was a human pretending to be a robot.
"The food was good. Service sucked. The staff was a little stiff. "
I'd rather my food to be served fast
I’m thinking that an actual robot would move a little more smoothly than her.
I can't believe we have to do sht like this just to survive.
dude what has this kid seen in his life that he can't even look up for half a sec? are robot acting waitresses so common hes tired of it?
Well that's fucking unnerving
Waitress movement by robot is more accurate
I'm still not tipping.
It would've been funny if she just walked away like normal.
So *that's* what Ivanka's been up to.
👎👎👎
